Extracting all email addresses from On My Mac Mail

hi all.
trying to do a final organization here after porting to mac OS.
i am trying to extract all emails from my archived mail in the "On My Mac" section of my mac pro. this means that this data will no longer be accessible from my laptop machine or from my iPhone when traveling. in a lot of cases there will be incoming mail from recipients whom i /may/ not have replied to or whom i did not reply to within Mac Mail (i am coming from PC land and i have used Postbaox before ditching this software awhile back).
i realize that i have the opportunity to ADD emails from the Previous Recipients section of my Mac Pro and from my MacBookPro - however in the case of mail that i am archiving on the Mac Pro this option is not available.
can anyone help me get from here to there (having some kind of list of my important email addresses) so that i can go through this list and either keep it on hand or add the important ones manually to my Contacts? i would say that alternatively i would be happy to bulk add these to the Previous Recipients list on my Mac Pro but this data is already somewhat out of hand and the fact that it resides only on my desktop until i add the addresses to Mac Contacts (as does the Previous Recipients List on my MacBook Pro and presumably on my IPhone).
i ran a google search and came up with the following links which i am going to print out and try and muddle through so any advice on this would be really welcome.
THANKS

If you are lucky, you might be able to restore individual messages. To do it, open Mail and then, open the Time Machine application (in /Applications/Utilities). Then, choose the backup you want at the right and you will be able to select messages and restore them.
After restoring them, they will appear in "Recovered Messages" in the Mail sidebar, under "On my Mac"

TS3276 autofill email addresses from my old mac

My new mac pro doesn't autofill my email addresses from my old mac. Had no trouble w/ ipad and iphone, but there is no autofilling on this one. The addresses aren't necessarily contacts, just people i've emailed before. Please help, thanks

If you want to remove your Apple ID from the iPad you can just sign out in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. That will not delete the apps from the iPad. He will not be able to update the apps without your username and password and he will have to sign in again in order to that.
If he is going to use his own Apple ID and he begins to switch and back and forth from one ID to the other - and if he downloads anything again using your ID, he will lock himself out of his own ID for 90 days.
If you are asking how to remove your email account from the iPad go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>your email account>Delete account. That will not cause you to lose any apps either.
You should probably explain exactly what you want to do in order to clarify.

How to keep the ".mac" version email address from showing up in Mail?

I was a .Mac guy way back. MobileMe came out. Now I have two emails, the difference being the domain. One .mac and one .me.
I just want to use the .me. I had several aliases and they all have the same issue. When I choose which email address to send it from, I have a ton of emails to choose from. I could cut that in half without all the .mac ones. Anyway to fix this so only the .me address show up in the from field?

On your iPhone, from the Home page go into settings then Notes. Change your Default account to 'On My IPhone'.

Why won't my iCloud email address set up on mac mail?

Been trying to use my iCloud alias email address by setting up iCloud on my mac mail. It connects iCloud but says the password is wrong for the icloud address...but it's just my AppleID password.
Tried setting up as account 'other' and enetering the settings from here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864 but still saying password not correct.
Driving me mad!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

How do I mask my email address to my outgoing Mac Mail emails?

I use [email protected] for all of my email.
I have a forwarding email address through GoDaddy that is [email protected] that is linked to [email protected]
My Mac Mail app is configured for [email protected]
I would like to be able to reply to emails through Mac Mail using [email protected]
I have figured out how to do this using Gmail itself, but I would like to be able to do the same using Mac Mail. I think the solution lies here:
How do I add the domain with my forwarding email address into the highlighted dropdown menu?
Any insight would be much appreciated! THANK YOU!

I lost all email 6months and older in mac mail. Need Serious Help!

I lost all email 6 months and older in mac mail. In my in-box as a well as all other folders I created. I expected that the mac email software would keep all email as it did for me in when I used to use Outlook. As well I thought I was covered with the Time Machine I have installed. Well.....The Time Machine that I was aggressively encouraged to buy apparently doesn't back up email. If it does, I must need some secret decoder ring to unlock where it is. I need serious help. I lost months of professional and personal data. I need to fix this immediately and find some way to get my email back. Please help.

In March when I upgraded to Lion and iCloud I also experienced a similar problem (cluster of problems) which was solved by a password reset (conforming to new requirements) for my Apple ID. I'm glad to see that many nice people contributed and your primary problem is fixed. My comment is on your Quicken problem.
Your data inside Quicken 2004 is on borrowed time. In the process of researching personal budgeting apps I found many reports on the web that indicate Intuit as a company is scaling down Quicken (desktop) development and its future attention to the Mac platform will be minimal.
Did you know that Intuit is behind Mint.com? You may be hesitant to put your financial data "in the cloud" and I may be being sheepish, but.. bbaaaa, bbaaaaa, the cloud is where it's going. I know first-hand want a pain in the arse it is to customize an app to your liking. I spent several hours on Mint.com setting up categories and tagging transactions. It's tedious. I didn't look because I wasn't a Quicken user, but perhaps Intuit was nice enough to provide a data conversion path for Mint.com. It is worth a look.
My second suggestion is to scour the web for a hack solution. You can't be the only person who is facing this problem. Quicken was very popular. I just bet someone has posted directions or some code for exporting the Quicken 2004 data and manipulating it for something else.
Good Luck.

I remove the flagged status and the email disappears from STARRED in mac mail. I want to keep it there, and I dont use "flags"

I have about 10 important files in my starred folder in Gmail - accessed using my browser.
using mac mail, the starred folder only contains mail deems "important" and "flags"
Not the important files I DEEMED as STARRED.
Why doe removing the flag delete it form starred folder in mac mail?
How do I get my starred folder in mac mail to contain those same 10 emails as Gmail website view?
and how do I get mac mail to stop flagging stuff it thinks is important?
(it doesnt know... no one knows. Only I know...heh)
Thanks so much

Anne,
AOL by policy deletes messages in the Inbox (and also the Sent) after 27 days. To save longer, the messages must be moved to the folder named Saved that AOL sets up on the server. There is nothing in Mail to cause this, but AOL's own action.
Is this perhaps what she is having issue with?

A work flow to extract email address from mail

Can anyone help me. I have a bunch of emails that contain text information including an email address. I want a Automator workflow that will extract the email addresses from the emails and then save them as a comma separated text file.

Hi,
Try this workflow:
1) Get Selected Mail Items
2) Run AppleScript
In the "Run AppleScript", paste the following in:
on run {input, parameters}
set the output to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count of the input
set theMessage to item i of the input
set theContent to ""
tell application "Mail"
set theContent to the content of theMessage
end tell
if theContent is not equal to "" then
set output to (output & theContent)
end if
end repeat
return output
end run
3) Run Shell Script
In "Run Shell Script", select "/usr/bin/perl" in the shell popup and "to stdin" in the pass input popup. Then paste the following in:
$input = join("", );
@emails = ($input =~ /\b[A-Z0-9._%-]@[A-Z0-9.-]\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/ig);
while( @emails > 1 ) {
print shift(@emails) . ", ";
print @emails[0];
4) New TextEdit Document
If you select the mail messages that have the email information in them, then you can run the workflow and hopefully it does the right thing.
Hope it helps!

Extracting email address from all mailbox in Exchange 2010

Dear Team,
I've requirement where i need to pull all the email addresses from all user mailbox accounts in exchange 2010. I need all email addresses to which we've send emails to/Communicated with and all received email addresses. Is there any script or Power Shell
command to extract email addresses from all mailboxes in our domain(Send and Receive)
Appreciate your quick help.
Thanks,
Mike Baig

No it is not very clear but this is what I understood...
"which we've send emails from our domain" - From address should be always primary smtp address.
"which we've received emails to our domain" - This can be secondary smtp addresses as well.
To get all email addresses (including secondary smtp addresses) you can use below...
get-mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Select displayname, primarysmtpaddress, @{Name="Email Addresses";Expression={[string]::join(', ', $_.EmailAddresses)}} | Export-Csv emailaddress.csv -NoTypeInformation

Is there a program to extract email addresses from a searchable pdf?

Is there a program that will extract email addresses from a searchable pdf?
I scanned a 75 page excel spreadsheet and used OCR to create a searchable pdf. I've verified that the OCR did work, the email address are searchable, but I need a way to extract them from the pdf so that I can add them to an email list database. There is other data in the spreadsheets that is not needed and it is making it impossible to just copy and paste. Does anybody know if there is a program available that works on the mac platform for this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Extract email addresses from PDF file?

Hi,
Does somebody know if there is any -builtin- way to extract email addressed from PDF file in acrobat?
I tried 'save as' text/excel but this is a laborious task, especially when the pdf is large!
Thanks

I've developed a script that does just that. Have a look here:

Extract Email Addresses From A Webpage

I'm trying to use automator to extract email addresses from a webpage. I'm a member of my local chamber and we can use other chamber email addresses we just have to copy and paste them from the chamber website. There are about 5,000 members so I would spend a good week doing this. I'm trying to get Automator to take care of it for me. So far I've used the action "Get Current Webpage From Safari" then "Get Text from Webpage" then "Filter Paragraphs" and I filter to only paragraphs with the @ sign would go through. Now I'm lost. All I really need is a list of the email addresses them selves and not all the junk like the company they work for and bla bla bla. All this stuff is also on the same line as the email address so it all comes through. Is there any way to filter specific text rather than an entire paragraph?

in that page the emails are always at the end of the line. that simplifies the problem somewhat. add the following "run shell script" action to your workflow right after the action that filters out paragraphs that contain emails
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"|awk '{print $NF}'
done</pre>
pass the input to this action as arguments.

Extract email addresses from email header - Sender (From) - Mail

Hi!
I would like to extract email addresses from email header from field "Sender (From)" and from email body in Mail at the same time.
I saw only scripts how to extract from email body.
I get emails asking for some informations about product and many people don't include their email address in the body, so I have to extract from email header as well.
I would like to extract email addresses from whole email account, separate alphabeticaly, delete duplicates and save it (separated by comma) in text file.
This I would use for sending massive email to all customers.
I'm on OSX 10.6.8.
Do you have please somebody script for extracting email addresses in the way:
1. select mail account
2. run script
3. save email addresses to txt file
Thank you for help and advise!

Hi Neville!
Last time I was writing basic programs in Turbopascal in 1996.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
1. I switched off in Mail "Use Smart Addresses".
2. I changed the path to my account in both commands:
Command A.
i=~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com # Input file path
o=~/Desktop/ # Output file path
n=`date "+%y%m%d%H%M%S"`-"addresses" # time stamped file name
grep -rh From: $i | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > $o$n
Command B.
grep -rh From: ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"
3. I write commands in TERMINAL.
result of Command A:
List of couple emails same like before switching of "Use Smart Addresses"
I answered it already above:
It can extract to .txt file only email addresses from email header which includes after the name as well email address.
Example:
From: Neville Hillyer <[email protected]>
If there is in header only the name without the email address then it's not extracted (email is visible after secondary click on the name)
Example:
From: Neville Hillyer
I just checked that most of emails I have has in the emailheader only the name without the email address so I miss most of email addresses.
Result of Command B:
>
And nothing going on...
4. I tried the same in AppleScript editor
Result of Command A:
Syntax error. A unknown token can’t go after this identifier.
I changed the path but I still get syntax errors
(instead of i=~/Library... i put i= Users/muzaa/Library...)
Result of Command B:
Syntax error: A “from” can’t go after this identifier.
grep -rh From: /Users/radimmuzikant/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"

Seen this question before but no answer, how can I change my email address from all caps into a more proper upper-lower style.

You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements. Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.
